As Hypertection is an agentless solution, it resides on the hypervisor level.

Hypertection system includes the components, which are installed on each hypervisor, and Management Console, which can be installed on any PC in the corporate network with administrator rights.

Management Console can connect to any hypervisor with installed Hypertection and obtain the lists of hosted virtual machines and their snapshots. The general list of connected hypervisors, virtual machines and snapshots is built. Administrator chooses the scope for scanning and thus forms the scanning request.

Using corresponding hypervisor's  means and internal parsers, Hypertection obtains parsed data from the file system and active memory of virtual machine snapshots from the scanning scope. Then it passes these data to the antivirus engine, installed on the hypervisor.

The wide range of pre-installed antivirus systems, supported by the solution, allows you to reuse the hypervisor antivirus protection for all its virtual machines, and also makes your antivirus policy independent and flexible. See more Hypertection benefits.

Antivirus engine scanning results are then interpreted, compiled and passed to the Management Console to form general report.
